New Week!

Good Day to All!
I hope you had a good weekend and didn't get sunburnt like I did! :-) Here's what happening this week in our classroom!

Literacy
We are in our last week of previewing the letters. This week we will focus on the letters Uu-Zz. We are also reading the Aesop Fable of The City Mouse and the Country Mouse. We will read a couple different versions of it and make a class book. We might even make some puppets to act out the story! The kids will learn how to use the listening station and how to read the room with pointers. In writing we will talk about what things we can add to our pictures to tell a story and how to draw simple things and people. Our poem this week is about a Hungry Mouse and the different things it likes to eat. Ask your child about what letter we talked about each day!

Math
We are still working on patterns. I want them to make a pattern beyond just an AB pattern. We have explored AAB and ABB, and a couple kids have come up with ABC and AABBCC! Be practicing these with your buttons from your homework bag or any other items you have at home!

Homework Bags
I will be sending home the homework bags with those childeren who did not make it to curriculum night. I will have a short letter with instructions included. Please make sure you begin to use this regularly!

Have a great week and as always, let me know if you have questions or concerns!
